Compliments to Cranberry Glazed Pork

[melissadh]

I would like to get some ideas from people as to a nice compliment to the Cranberry Glazed Pork recipe listed on the CL web site.
Any ideas????

I'm thinking mashed sweet potatoes.

Green beans or asparagus sound good to me. As well as the sweet potatoes.

I was thinking of sweet potatoes myself. What do you put in your mashed sweet potatoes? (some cinammon and butter sound good to me)

I love the Sweet Potato Casserole w/Praline Topping. It came out a couple of years ago and is also in the new Make It Ahead supplement. Give it a try!

Sweet Potato Casserole With Praline Topping

The streusel is both stirred into the casserole and sprinkled on top.

1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup stick margarine, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and halved (about 21/2 pounds)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
11/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg white
1 (5-ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk
Cooking spray


Preheat oven to 350`. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring to form a streusel. Set aside. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until very tender. Drain well; mash in a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup streusel, granulated sugar, vanilla, egg white, and milk. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray; top with remaining streusel. Bake at 350` for 45 minutes.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 3/4 cup).

I put butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg in my mashed sweet potatoes. Sometimes a little brown sugar.

THAT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD ! THE TOPPING SOUNDS VERY SIMILIAR TO MY MOMS RECIPE (SWEET POTATE SOUFFLE) WHICH IS AN ANNUAL DISH SERVED AT THANKSGIVING. Originally posted by CrystalB:

How about greens? I like the greens that go with the butternut squash souffle from October's(?) issue (I'm at work so I don't have the issue in front of me but I think it's October).
